"Oh? Are the hackers from Punklord always this brave?"
Ji Zi looked at the ether spirit whistling towards the crowd with some helplessness. For such a small matter... she shouldn't need to take action, right
Looking at the star standing in front of her, Ji Zi smiled tenderly. This child... ... is still very safe when he is serious... ...
"Alas... Why do we have to fight everywhere? And there is always a brainless person like this everywhere, whether they are good guys or bad guys..."
March shrugged helplessly, a longbow appeared in his hand, and a six-phase ice shield was cast on Xing's body.
"Give me your blessing, and I'll leave these things to you and Danheng~"
Waving his hands, Sanyue said in a very relaxed manner.
"Um... It seems we need to re-evaluate the basic police force in Punchlord."
Topa stroked her forehead with a little helplessness. Although there were such people under her command, she was still afraid of encountering such a thing... She would give her subordinates training after returning. If they didn't come, she would deduct their year-end bonus, which would be considered as teaching them a lesson.
"Haha, you still dare to resist? Catch them!"
Hiding behind the four etheric spirits, the hacker in the Punklord police officer uniform had no idea of the seriousness of the problem. He sneered self-righteously, and then gave orders to his four human etheric spirits.
“Ahhh!”
Four etheric spirits that had no consciousness and could only numbly follow orders shouted and attacked Xing fiercely.
"So, why do they have to shout when they attack?"
March looked at the four ether spirits that had surrounded the star cluster with a puzzled look. Doesn't this seem stupid
"It seems that this hacker directly copied the settings of the Ether Spirit. This is a very serious infringement! It seems that there is an unexpected gain in this business trip? I will draft a lawyer's letter and hand it over to the company's legal department. It seems that this hacker is in trouble."
Toppa looked at the star who was chasing the four etheric spirits and the panicked hacker with a smile on his face. This time he had extra achievements!
"What...what's going on? How come this woman...is so strong?!"
The infringing hacker looked at the star with full strength in horror. This... This was the Ether Spirit that he had carefully selected! He had spent a long time using the Ether Editor to decipher this Ether Spirit before it could be realized!
"Hello, hello, hello? Why was the communication disconnected just now? What's the situation over there? Has the person from that company arrived? Hello?"
"Um... well, I..."
Looking at Xing approaching with a lance in hand, the infringing hacker raised his hands unconsciously and stammered into the communicator.
"Hey~ Let me help you explain it."
Toppa, who had prepared the infringing template in a flash, walked easily to the side of the infringing hacker, took off his communicator, and then spoke to the person on the other end of the communicator.
"Hello, I am Topa, the director of the Strategic Resources Department of Interstellar Peace Corporation. May I ask who you are..."
"Director Topa of the Strategic Resources Department? Hello, I am the captain of the First Guard Team of the Punklod New City Police Department. May I ask this Lord Topa..."
As soon as the words "Interstellar Peace Company" and "Strategic Resources Department" were heard, the voice on the other end of the communicator began to become noticeably quieter.
Inside the Xincheng District Police Station, a middle-aged man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and spoke to Dui Ze and Topa in a very humbly manner.
"Oh, I'm here with the Starry Sky Train to carry out the Punklord rescue mission, but this employee of yours seems to be a little unwelcome to us. Moreover, the fighting method he used privately cracked the company's game and illegally used the image of the Ether Spirit to realize it. According to the company's property rights protection regulations, your employee has seriously violated the copyright of the Interstellar Peace Company..."
"Wait... wait! Lord Toppa! This police officer has nothing to do with us! He is a temporary worker we rented from the Hacker Alliance! He has nothing to do with us! I... I will bring people to personally welcome Director Toppa! We can discuss something... we can discuss it..."
Seeing that the other party was so understanding, Topa nodded with satisfaction, and then hung up the phone amid March's admiring eyes and the hacker's desperate expression.
"How... How could this happen... It's clearly disconnected from the outside world, I thought there wouldn't be any problems using it..."
The infringing hacker dropped his hands in despair.
"Oh, if I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have done it in the first place."
March shook her head helplessly.
... ... ... ... ... .
"Ah, this plot seems to be reflecting something, but we don't know what it is."
Sister Guozi watched this scene, shook her head subtly, and a strange smile appeared on her face.
[Yeah, who are you talking about? I don’t know (funny)]
[Hmm? You dare to say that!? 8 medicine life spicy! ]
[I'm here to cut ties with the comments, they said all that! It has nothing to do with me! ]
[Topa: I am in Punklord, and my performance has dropped from the sky! ]
[To be honest, if you have four Overlord-level Ether Spirits, I can fight you for a while longer. You have four minions? ? ? ]
[There is technology, but not much.]
... ... ... ... ... .
"Fuck! I told you not to hire those hackers. They act so arrogant all the time, and this time they used interstellar communications to cause a big trouble! Fortunately, fortunately, he is rented. Let the Hacker Alliance worry about anything!"
After packing all his equipment and adjusting his clothes in front of the mirror, the captain quickly counted a few trusted police officers to go with him to greet the guests from afar. These people were sent by the company to support! As long as he brought them to the board of directors, his future would be... ... Hehe, at the very least, he could get a few more good prostheses! By the way, he could update the interference chip. It would be so embarrassing if it was hacked by those hackers!
... ... ... ... ... ..
"Brother Jack, are you sure that all the police officers who can help us get out of the old city are here?"
Winder looked at the luxurious mansion in front of him and frowned in confusion.
"Hey, this is little Mary's home. The police's home was demolished by a bunch of monsters. Mary felt bad about it, so she lent this place to them."
Jack shrugged nonchalantly, then walked towards the luxurious mansion in front of him.
Chapter 28 Abby Croyd's House
"Welcome to Abby Croyd's house. Don't worry, no one will be hurt here... No one will be hurt here..."
At the gate of the luxurious mansion, a gentle electronic female voice kept repeating this sentence.
Jack walked to the gate, turned on the communicator next to the gate and called the people inside.
"Hello, hello, I'm Jack from [Phantom Light], open the door for me."
Jack spoke into the communicator in a very familiar manner.
"C! You bastard, are you here to sell your evil ginger beer again? Come in!"
The man on the other end of the communicator obviously had a good relationship with Jack, and he said something rude, then opened the door for Jack.
"What are you talking about! Ginger beer is simply a delicacy, okay! You mechanical tongue guy!"
Jack cursed with a smile at the person on the other end of the communicator, then invited the three of them into the luxurious mansion.
The moment I entered the mansion, I felt a sense of sudden enlightenment. Unlike the dry scene seen from outside the wall, the courtyard inside the wall seemed very lively. The vegetation in the courtyard was neatly trimmed, and it was obvious that someone was taking care of it regularly. There was a fresh scent of green grass near the lawn, and looking at the lawn mower next to it, it was obvious that it had just been mowed not long ago.
There are several tents with the words "Punklord Police Department" printed on them in the yard. When you get closer, you can smell a pungent smell of disinfectant. That should be the temporary station of the Old Town Police Department.
In front of the tent, there was a gray-haired girl holding a plate of what looked like "biscuits". She was looking at a middle-aged man in front of her who was wearing the uniform of the Punchlord Police Department with a smile. However, judging from the embarrassed look on the middle-aged man's face, he did not seem to think that thing was a "biscuit".
As if he noticed Jack and Winder's group, the middle-aged policeman seemed relieved and quickly opened his arms to Jack with a very enthusiastic look.
"Oh! Isn't this my best friend Jack? Did you bring my favorite ginger beer this time? I missed him so much the last time we met! Oh! Seriously, I swear! Don't look at me like that!"
Seeing the middle-aged policeman looking for help, Jack didn't tolerate him at all and gave him a middle finger on the spot.
"Go to hell, Nat, stop pretending to be stupid. You can't even eat the cookies made by our lovely Miss Meili. What kind of police officer are you?"
Jack leaned over with a mocking look on his face to avoid his embrace, then walked up to the girl named Mary with a nasty look on his face. In view of her surprise, he picked up a piece of "cookie", put it in his mouth, chewed it with a crunch, and finally swallowed it with great force.
"Mm! It tastes really good! Thank you for your hospitality, Miss Meili. I think you should kick this old popsicle out. He may have been frozen in the machine for more than ten years and his taste buds have been frozen!"
"F---Jack, can you please respect your seniors and a guy like you who has no sense of taste? Otherwise, you won't be able to drink ginger beer."
The policeman named Knight looked helplessly at Jack who was still crunching the "cookie" in front of Mary. He would know what the consequences would be when he went to the toilet!
Ignoring the big beast, Knight straightened his clothes and then extended his hand to Winder in a very formal manner.
"Hello, I'm Knight. I'm from two hundred years ago. I just woke up from the freezer this year. I encountered this kind of thing not long after taking office... Sorry, I was busy complaining. I heard from that guy that you are from the legendary Star Train. I wonder what you want from me?"
"Hello, I'm Wend, the logistics and doctor of the Star Train. These two are also the [Unknown Guests] on the Star Train. We are here to work with the company to solve the problem of the Punklod star core."
Winder briefly introduced his identity and stated the purpose of his trip.
"Oh? You are here with the company? Where are the people from the company?"
When Knight heard the word "company", he paused slightly, then said to Winder.
"We have split into two teams to find out the current situation of Punklord. The company's envoy is in the other team. If nothing unexpected happens, they should be arriving at the new city soon."
"Is that so..."
Knight stroked his chin thoughtfully and looked at Winder deeply, as if he wanted to remember his appearance. Winder still looked kind, with a faint smile on his face.
"Come with me."
Knight turned and walked towards the tent behind him. When he passed by Jack, he did not forget to kick him in the butt. Of course, Jack, who was as cunning as a loach, dodged it easily.
“… … .”
The girl named Mary stared at Winder silently, her purple eyes full of curiosity.
"Haha, it seems that this girl is very curious about you, my benefactor."
Tingyun, who was behind Winder, naturally noticed this scene, and teased Winder while covering his mouth.
“What a pity…”
Jingliu glanced at the girl, then shook his head with some regret.
"???"
Winder looked at the two people behind him with a confused look on his face. What are you doing? Do you two really want to put on a show for him here
After entering the tent, Old Knight took out stools for several people to sit down, and he took out a bottle of beer and gently placed it on the table.
"You want to go to the Legendary Tower, right?"
Without beating around the bush, old Knight got straight to the point.
"That's right."
Putting his arms on the table, Winder nodded.
"Haha... Then you are in big trouble."
Old Knight shook his head silently, then unscrewed the cap of the beer bottle, took a big gulp of beer, then smacked his lips with a serious face, and then swore outside the tent.
"Damn it Jack! How dare you replace my wine!"
"Come on, old popsicle, Miss Mary is still here! She's still a child!"
"You are so..."
Knight wanted to continue scolding Jack, but when he thought of Mary, he swallowed the curse words that were about to come out of his throat.
"Well, forget it. I'll just say it straight. It's impossible for you to go to the Legendary Tower at the moment."
Putting the replaced ginger beer in his hand on the ground, Old Knight said to Winder with a serious face.
"That place is literally a death zone now. If you go there, don't even think about getting out!"
Chapter 29: The Tragedy of Punchlord
"You know what? When that damn star core exploded, our Old Town Police Department was the first to respond, but in the end... we were the closest, and we were also the first to die..."
Knight's face was full of bitterness. He would never forget that day...
The star core exploded from the legendary tower, and the energy generated pulled the entire Punklhodo closer to the dark corner of the universe. From that moment on, their nightmare began...
Countless citizens turned into half-human, half-mechanical monsters. They spread out in all directions with the Legendary Tower as the center. When they arrived, many citizens had already been eaten alive by the group of man-eating monsters... They could only do their best to cover others and return to the old city, but the price was...
"The special armed forces in the old city... were completely wiped out, the tactical team was completely wiped out, and only one-fifth of the police officers remained. In the final battle to defend the old city, even this one-fifth was sacrificed..."
At this point, he no longer cared how bad the ginger beer tasted. He suppressed his grief, picked up the ginger beer on the ground and took a big gulp. The burning sensation instantly filled his entire upper cavity, and tears flowed unconsciously from the corners of his eyes. He didn't know whether it was because of the spiciness or...
"They always say I'm an old ice stick, the kind that even my tears are frozen, but I think... ..it's not that serious."
